The Canadian Carwash Association (CCA) will proudly celebrate its 65th anniversary in 2025. Founded in 1960 as the Automatic Car Wash Association of Ontario, CCA was initially affiliated with the Automatic Car Wash Association International (now known as the International Carwash Association, ICA). Over the years, CCA has evolved into the leading voice for the Canadian car wash industry, committed to promoting the benefits of professional car washing and fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing and best practices among its members.

For decades, the CCA has consistently provided its members with valuable resources to help them successfully establish and operate car wash businesses. In addition, the association has created numerous opportunities for members to connect with industry professionals and stay informed of emerging trends and technologies.
